Hey! You're preaching to the converted here.
But do you really believe that you're in the middle of the curve, here?
Out of say 100 families, how many do you think would do a good job?
I'm not saying public or home schooling is successful/unsuccessful.
I said some level of education is a must.
Maybe goods that are priced as if they are free and marketed and financed at gupoint (literally) inherently produce that result? You see, because the deliverer of the product possesses police power, there is no accountability. Why then should you expect the customers to behave any other way? While you are considering that, read that ranting post again. THE FAILURE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION WAS INTENTIONAL. "The change in values" were not the cause, they were a consequence.
But do you really believe that you're in the middle of the curve, here?
Of course not. We have no intention of such a goal.

In my experience of home-education I think 95% efficacy would be fair, especially considering the circumstances of the parents; efficacy in that regard being a scale calibrated in rate of improvement. What you apparently don't understand is that home education has a disproportionate number of kids that developed severe learning and behavioral disabilities in public schools. If a statistical analysis of was conducted on that population of homeschoolers who started and maintained as such, my belief is that the disparity between public schools, or private schools for that matter, and home-schooling would be significantly greater.

You still don't get it.
